Brake Calipers Replacement in San Leandro, CA

Welcome to Doral’s Auto Repair, the premier San Leandro auto repair shop. Our modern, family owned and operated auto repair facility offers wide range of automotive maintenance services and repairs, including brake calipers replacement.

Brake calipers are designed to fit like clamps around the rotors, and to hold the brake pads. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads are pressed against the rotors. Brake pads are made of a high friction material. Friction resulting from brake calipers pressing the brake pads against the rotors causes the vehicle to slow down.

Caliper problems can often be felt when braking – if you feel car pulling to one side, it could be because of a binding caliper – when a piston does not move smoothly out of the bore, different amount of pressure is applied (compared to the other caliper). On a wet surface this could cause our car to slide out of control.

Another caliper issue could be brake fluid leak. When fluid level goes down sufficiently, brake warning light should illuminate on the dashboard.

Because of the importance of the brake system, we recommend brake inspection once a year, especially if you drive in heavy traffic. Having said that, if you feel any concern about the brakes in your vehicle, give us a call and have the brake systems inspected right away – your safety is at stake.

When we replace calipers at our San Leandro auto care facility, we use high quality parts, and the repairs carry our nationwide 36 months / 36,000 miles warranty. Naturally after we finish the repairs and perform static tests, we will also take your vehicle for a test drive, to make sure the brake system functions correctly under real world driving conditions.
